This guide ranks every Mining Pal in the game and highlights the best picks for each stage of play.
- 57 Pals have Mining Lv 1 or higher; 13 reach Lv 6+.
- The highest Mining level in Palworld 1.0 is Lv 8, held by Aegidron.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mining in Palworld?
Mining Work Suitability controls how fast a Pal breaks stone, ore, and other resource nodes at your Mining Site and Ore Mining Site. Only 57 of the 299 Pals in Palworld 1.0 have the skill, so high-level miners are worth planning around.
What is the best Mining Pal in Palworld 1.0?
Aegidron has the highest Mining level in the game at Lv 8. Blazamut Ryu, Knocklem Ignis, Blazamut, Astegon, and Knocklem follow at Lv 7. For most players, Blazamut is the practical top pick because it can be caught wild from Lv 46, while Aegidron only spawns at Lv 79.
How are these Mining Pals ranked?
Pals are ranked by Mining level first, then by rarity, then by Paldeck number. The table includes every Pal with Mining Lv 1 or higher — 57 Pals in Palworld 1.0.
Which Mining Pal is best to breed?
Anubis is the best Mining Pal to breed. It has Lv 6 Mining with Lv 6 Handiwork and can be produced from mid-game pairs such as Dualith × Blazamut — both parents spawn wild from Lv 46 — giving you a top-tier base worker before you can reach endgame wild spawns.
Is Astegon good for Mining?
Yes — Astegon is the best nocturnal miner at Lv 7, so it can keep your mining nodes running through the night without a second shift. It can be found at Lv 55+ as a Sanctuary field boss, or at Lv 80 around the World Tree.
How many Pals can mine in Palworld 1.0?
57 of the 299 Pals have Mining Work Suitability. Most sit at Lv 1–3; only 24 reach Lv 5 or higher and 13 reach Lv 6 or higher.
